Please let me know if you know of anyone in MPLS, business or individual, that might like these. I still need to add Alex Pretti’s name. #minneapolis #alexpretti #reneegood

Raskin: "I think the people have Minnesota have shown us with their mass demonstration and general strike the direction that we may need to go in nationally in order to send the message that American society does not accept this authoritarian derailment of the US Constitution."

Independent Bookstores ROCK!

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

We Will 🧡

Thread! As I've said in similar threads, this IS the America Black and brown people have always known, and why, when white people lament that it's a "change" or "new" or "never happened before", we side eye you.

Ok Canada, invade us, I’m ready for it.

Walz is the Boss. Ellison knows his shit. Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered with intent. Minnesota WILL have justice.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I don’t see too many people talking about what an incredible accomplishment it was for MN officials and lawyers to get those affidavits and that motion written and filed and to get a Trump appointed judge to issue a TRO against the feds to stop them from destroying evidence - all in the same day.

Too late for Caturday, because MN.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

In Minnesota: please send emergency Kittens (and any other pets, please)

Excellent consulting work they did for Queen B 🤣

My husband of 32 years is not a MAGAt. He’s a good man with PTSD, but this nonsense with ICE has put me into territory I never thought I’d have to be in. He has stated several times that Jonathan Ross was R I G H T and keeps doubling down about “illegals”. I’m just sick. 🤢

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

This is one of the most heartwarming things I’ve seen in a minute 💙🩵💙

The olden times of putting a wrapped hot brick near your feet in the bed seems like a great idea! Real feel of -50° 🥶

She’s brilliant AND funny!

Realizing I can’t write about today without including my complicated relationship with January 22. Many moons ago I was 19 yrs old + 6 months pregnant with my eldest. in a pink maternity dress and thinking a lot of naive thoughts, I got married. 🧵 1/

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Going from Mark Carney’s speech to Donald Trump’s press briefing was like going from an iPhone to two styrofoam cups and some string.

I do not have one woman in my friend group who is sleeping through the night anymore. I get up and wander from room to room. I don’t know what to do with my rage other than to show up every day, but it continues into the night.

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

Emergency cat pics: *also update on Roux - vet visit was Monday, but he still isn’t eating well, really starting to look like a stomatitis flare and potential surgery to remove his remaining 4 canines. #pawcircle #hedgewatch #catsofbluesky

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Truth-teller, Heroine.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

From this afternoon 🌎

Well deserved for so many …

Took a few good luck charms with to my recital this afternoon. Thank you @sassymetischick.bsky.social And my reward after a nerve-wracking performance 🍷 @itsflanoy.bsky.social

I genuinely believe mainstream democrat string pullers have STILL not grasped how far right they are, compared to the people they consider their “base”

So you can be convicted by a jury of beating a cop with a baseball bat and NBC will call your crimes "alleged". Hey Democrats, maybe it's time to start calling out the media when you are on their shows. "Why are you giving cover to Trump"? "Why do you talk about these things like they are sane?"

We think Roux might not be feeling well. Good thing we have a regularly scheduled vet-check Monday. #poorbuddy #stomatitis #caturday

uh-huh

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

A wide-ranging UC San Francisco study found that sky-high rents are forcing people into homeless. Middle- and working-class tenants need urgent help. They need rent control.
